Magnetic toys

What is the danger

These toys pose a risk of injuries because they may release small, powerful magnets that can then be swallowed or aspirated by young children or placed by a child in their nose or ears. When more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation, infection or blockage, which can be fatal. Aspiration to the lungs requires immediate surgery. Magnets in nose or ears can cause swelling and be difficult to remove.
